Description

一种WLAN的链路自适应方法及网络设备WLAN link adaptation method and network device 技术领域Technical field
本发明涉及通信技术领域,尤其涉及一种WLAN的链路自适应方法及网络设备。The present invention relates to the field of communications technologies, and in particular, to a WLAN link adaptation method and a network device.
背景技术Background technique
在无线通信系统中,由于路损、衰落或者噪声等因素的影响,无线信道的信道信息通常会随时间的变化而变化。针对信道的这种时变特性,人们引入了链路自适应技术。其中,链路自适应技术是指系统根据当前获取的信道信息,自适应地调整系统传输参数的行为,用以克服或者适应当前信道变化带来的影响。从链路自适应技术的基本原理可以看出,链路自适应技术主要包含两方面的内容:一方面是信道信息的获取,即如何准确并有效地获得当前信道状况;另一方面是传输参数的调整,如MCS(Modulation and Coding Scheme,调制与编码策略)、发射功率以及时频资源等。目前,链路自适应技术凭借其在提高频谱利用率和数据传输速率方面的卓越性能赢得青睐,已成功应用于多种移动通信系统中,成为提高系统性能的关键技术之一。In a wireless communication system, channel information of a wireless channel usually changes with time due to factors such as path loss, fading, or noise. Link adaptation techniques have been introduced for this time-varying nature of the channel. The link adaptation technology refers to the behavior of the system adaptively adjusting the transmission parameters of the system according to the currently acquired channel information, so as to overcome or adapt to the impact of the current channel change. It can be seen from the basic principles of the link adaptation technology that the link adaptation technology mainly includes two aspects: on the one hand, the acquisition of channel information, that is, how to accurately and effectively obtain the current channel condition; on the other hand, the transmission parameter Adjustments such as MCS (Modulation and Coding Scheme), transmit power, and time-frequency resources. At present, link adaptation technology has won the favor of its excellent performance in improving spectrum utilization and data transmission rate. It has been successfully applied in a variety of mobile communication systems and has become one of the key technologies to improve system performance.
在现有WiFi(Wireless-Fidelity,无线保真)标准的链路自适应过程中,测量信道信息所使用的探测PPDU的模式相对比较单一,然而,随着下一代WiFi标准IEEE 802.11ax中室外场景、上行多用户传输等新特性的引入,单一模式的探测PPDU难以适配不同应用场景的不同需求,由此,IEEE 802.11ax对链路自适应过程中探测PPDU的选取也提出了更高的要求。In the link adaptation process of the existing WiFi (Wireless-Fidelity) standard, the mode of detecting PPDUs used for measuring channel information is relatively simple, however, with the outdoor scene of the next generation WiFi standard IEEE 802.11ax The introduction of new features such as uplink multi-user transmission, the single-mode probing PPDU is difficult to adapt to different requirements of different application scenarios. Therefore, IEEE 802.11ax also puts forward higher requirements for the detection of PPDUs in the link adaptation process. .

The HT control field is included in a frame header of the MAC frame, and is used to indicate information such as link adaptation and a calibration position, where the HT control field is generally present in a Control Wrapper frame, or when a frame control field is used. The order bit is set to 1 in the QoS data frame.
下面对一些现有标准中HT控制字段的格式进行简单介绍,例如:IEEE802.11n标准中HT变种的HT控制字段以及IEEE 802.11ac标准中VHT(Very High Throughput,非常高吞吐率)变种的HT控制字段。The following is a brief introduction to the format of the HT control field in some existing standards, such as the HT control field of the HT variant in the IEEE802.11n standard and the HT of the VHT (Very High Throughput) variant of the IEEE 802.11ac standard.

The information is adapted to the related information. For details, refer to Figure 3, which is a schematic diagram of the format of the link adaptation control field.
下面对IEEE 802.11n标准中的其中一种MCS(Modulation and Coding Scheme,调制与编码策略)的链路自适应流程中进行简单介绍,以下简称为TRQ(Training Request,探测请求)模式:链路适应请求端向响应端发送包括HT变种的HT控制字段的PPDU(Physical Layer Protocol Data Unit,物理层协议数据单元),其中,TRQ置为1,以指示需要响应端发送一个探测PPDU;响应者根据上述HT变种的HT控制字段生成探测PPDU并向链路适应请求端发送该探测PPDU;链路适应请求端则根据该探测PPDU测量信道信息并根据信道信息进行链路自适应调整。The following is a brief introduction to the link adaptation process of one of the MCS (Modulation and Coding Scheme) in the IEEE 802.11n standard, hereinafter referred to as TRQ (Training Request) mode: link The adaptation requesting end sends a PPDU (Physical Layer Protocol Data Unit) including an HT control field of the HT variant to the responding end, wherein the TRQ is set to 1 to indicate that the responding end needs to send a probe PPDU; the responder is configured according to The HT control field of the HT variant generates a probe PPDU and sends the probe PPDU to the link adaptation requesting end; the link adaptation requester measures channel information according to the probe PPDU and performs link adaptation adjustment according to the channel information.
在IEEE 802.11n标准的基础上,人们对IEEE 802.11ac标准中的VHT变种的HT控制字段进行了更全面的设计,如图4所示,为IEEE 802.11ac标准中HT控制字段(即VHT变种的HT控制字段)的格式示意图。VHT变种的HT控制字段复用HT变种的HT控制字段,其中,使用HT变种的HT控制字段中原先是保留比特的第一个比特作为VHT比特,并以VHT比特来区分两种版本,当VHT比特置为0时,表示当前HT控制字段为HT变种的HT控制字段,当VHT比特置为1时,表示当前HT控制字段为VHT变种的HT控制字段。Based on the IEEE 802.11n standard, the HT control field of the VHT variant in the IEEE 802.11ac standard is more comprehensively designed, as shown in Figure 4, which is the HT control field in the IEEE 802.11ac standard (ie, the VHT variant). Schematic diagram of the HT Control field). The HT control field of the VHT variant multiplexes the HT control field of the HT variant, wherein the HT control field of the HT variant uses the first bit of the reserved bit as the VHT bit, and distinguishes the two versions by the VHT bit, when VHT When the bit is set to 0, the current HT control field is the HT control field of the HT variant. When the VHT bit is set to 1, the current HT control field is the HT control field of the VHT variant.
下面对IEEE 802.11ac标准中的其中两种MCS的链路自适应流程中进行简单介绍,包括请求-反馈机制和非请求方式-反馈机制: The following is a brief introduction to the link adaptation process of two MCSs in the IEEE 802.11ac standard, including request-feedback mechanism and unsolicited mode-feedback mechanism:
在请求-反馈机制的一种链路自适应流程中,链路适应请求端向响应端发送探测PPDU,其中,VHT置为1,以指示当前HT控制字段为VHT变种的HT控制字段,VHT置为1,MRQ(MCS请求)置为1,以指示需要响应端进行MCS反馈;则响应端使用上述探测PPDU测量信道信息并向链路适应请求端反馈信道信息测量结果,以便链路适应请求端根据信道信息测量结果进行链路自适应调整。In a link adaptation procedure of the request-feedback mechanism, the link adaptation requesting end sends a probe PPDU to the responder, where VHT is set to 1 to indicate that the current HT control field is an HT control field of the VHT variant, VHT is set. 1, MRQ (MCS request) is set to 1 to indicate that the responding end needs to perform MCS feedback; then the responding end uses the above-mentioned probe PPDU to measure channel information and feed back the channel information measurement result to the link adaptation requesting end, so that the link adapts to the requesting end. The link adaptive adjustment is performed according to the channel information measurement result.
非请求-反馈机制是指主动反馈端在通信对端没有发送反馈请求的情况下,针对通信对端之前发送的任何一帧或者多帧数据主动反馈信道信息测量结果。在非请求-反馈机制的一种链路自适应流程中,主动反馈端主动向其通信对端发送包括VHT变种的HT控制字段的PPDU,其中,VHT置为1,以指示当前HT控制字段为VHT变种的HT控制字段,Unsolicited MFB(Unsolicited MCS feedback indicator,非请求的MCS反馈指引)置为1,以指示MCS反馈为非请求方式的主动反馈,并在MFB(MCS feedback,MCS反馈)字段携带相应的信道信息测量结果,以便通信对端根据信道信息测量结果进行链路自适应调整。The unsolicited-feedback mechanism refers to the active feedback channel actively measuring the channel information measurement result for any frame or multi-frame data sent before the communication peer end when the communication peer does not send a feedback request. In a link adaptation process of the unsolicited-feedback mechanism, the active feedback end actively sends a PPDU including an HT control field of the VHT variant to its communication peer, where VHT is set to 1 to indicate that the current HT control field is The HT control field of the VHT variant, Unsolicited MFB (Unsolicited MCS feedback indicator) is set to 1 to indicate that the MCS feedback is an unsolicited active feedback and is carried in the MFB (MCS feedback, MCS feedback) field. Corresponding channel information measurement results, so that the communication peer performs link adaptive adjustment according to the channel information measurement result.
需要说明的是,此处对HT控制字段中的一些公共信息,如MSI/STBC(MCS请求序列指引/时空分组编码)等字段不做介绍,本领域技术人员可参考现有相关标准以及后续相关标准中的规定。It should be noted that some common information in the HT control field, such as MSI/STBC (MCS request sequence guide/space-time block coding), is not introduced here.

In this embodiment, the channel parameters used for measuring channel information may be determined according to parameters adjusted by link adaptation, such as SNR (Signal to Noise Ratio) of the channel, extended delay of the channel, or delay between multiple users. Correspondingly, in the link adaptation process of the request-feedback mechanism and the non-request-response mechanism, the channel information measurement result obtained by measuring the channel information also includes a plurality of contents, for example, MCS, GI, or antenna selection.

如GI的链路自适应,即链路自适应所调整的参数为MCS时,信道信息可以包括信道的扩展延迟和/或多用户间的延迟,对应的信道信息测量结果可以包括建议的GI。If the link adaptation of the GI, that is, the parameter adjusted by the link adaptation is the MCS, the channel information may include an extended delay of the channel and/or a delay between multiple users, and the corresponding channel information measurement result may include the suggested GI.

601、第一网络设备向第二网络设备发送第一PPDU;601. The first network device sends a first PPDU to the second network device.
在本实施例中,第一PPDU指示第二网络设备需要发送探测PPDU,可以理解的是,在实际应用过程中,第一PPDU可以通过其前导字段或者其承载的MPDU来指示第二网络设备需要发送探测PPDU,具体此处不做限定。In this embodiment, the first PPDU indicates that the second network device needs to send the probe PPDU. It can be understood that, in the actual application process, the first PPDU may indicate the need of the second network device by using its preamble field or the MPDU it carries. The probe PPDU is sent, which is not limited here.
在本实施例中,该第一PPDU还包括模式指示字段,例如,记为T-Mode(Required Training PPDU mode,需要的探测PPDU的模式)字段,该T-Mode字段用于指示第二网络设备生成目标模式的探测PPDU,可以理解的是,在实际应用过程中,T-Mode字段可以包括在第一PPDU的前导字段(例如,SIG-B字段)中,也可以包括在第一PPDU的MPDU中,具体此处不做限定。In this embodiment, the first PPDU further includes a mode indication field, for example, a T-Mode (Required Training PPDU mode) field, where the T-Mode field is used to indicate the second network device. The probe PPDU of the target mode is generated. It can be understood that, in an actual application process, the T-Mode field may be included in a preamble field of the first PPDU (for example, a SIG-B field), or may be included in the MPDU of the first PPDU. In the specific case, there is no limitation here.
下面详细说明T-Mode字段如何指示第二网络设备生成目标模式的探测PPDU,以下分别举例说明:The following describes in detail how the T-Mode field instructs the second network device to generate the probe PPDU of the target mode.
(1)第一字段;(1) the first field;
例如,第一字段记为BW(Bandwidth,带宽)字段,该BW字段用于指示探测PPDU应采用的带宽,即在探测PPDU的模式包括探测PPDU的带宽信息时,可以通过BW字段指示探测PPDU采用哪一带宽。For example, the first field is recorded as a BW (Bandwidth) field, and the BW field is used to indicate the bandwidth that the PPDU should be used for, that is, when the mode of detecting the PPDU includes detecting the bandwidth information of the PPDU, the PW field may be used to indicate the detection of the PPDU. Which bandwidth.
(2)第二字段;(2) the second field;
例如,第二字段记为Indoor/Outdoor(Indoor mode or Outdoor mode,室内/室外模式)字段,该Indoor/Outdoor字段用于指示探测PPDU应采用室内模式还是室外模式,即在探测PPDU的模式包括探测PPDU采用室内模式还是室外 模式时,可以通过Indoor/Outdoor字段指示探测PPDU采用室内模式还是室外模式。For example, the second field is recorded as an Indoor/Outdoor (Indoor mode or Outdoor mode) field, and the Indoor/Outdoor field is used to indicate whether the probe PPDU should be in indoor mode or outdoor mode, that is, the mode in which the PPDU is detected includes detection. Whether the PPDU is indoor or outdoor In the mode, the Indoor/Outdoor field can be used to indicate whether the PPDU is detected in indoor mode or outdoor mode.
(3)第三字段;(3) the third field;
例如,第三字段记为NX_HE-LTF(N*64FFT of HE-LTF,高效长训练字段的FFT阶数)字段,该NX_HE-LTF字段用于指示探测PPDU的长训练字段应采用的FFT的阶数,即在探测PPDU的模式包括探测PPDU的长训练字段的傅里叶变化阶数信息时,可以通过NX_HE-LTF字段指示探测PPDU采用哪一阶数的FFT,例如,在实际应用过程中,可以以64点为基准,将当前FFT的阶数表达为64的N倍,其中,N可以为1、2、4等。For example, the third field is denoted as NX_HE-LTF (N*64 FFT of HE-LTF), which is used to indicate the order of the FFT to be used for detecting the long training field of the PPDU. The number, that is, when the mode of detecting the PPDU includes detecting the Fourier transform order information of the long training field of the PPDU, the NX_HE-LTF field may indicate which FFT of the order the PPDU is used for, for example, in actual application, The order of the current FFT can be expressed as N times of 64 on the basis of 64 points, wherein N can be 1, 2, 4, and the like.
(4)第四字段;(4) the fourth field;
例如,第四字段记为GI字段,该GI字段用于指示探测PPDU应采用的保护间隔长度,即在探测PPDU的模式包括探测PPDU的保护间隔信息时,可以通过GI字段指示探测PPDU采用哪一长度的GI,例如,0.4、0.8us,或者更长的GI,如1.6、2.4或3.2us等。For example, the fourth field is recorded as a GI field, which is used to indicate the length of the guard interval that the probe PPDU should be used. That is, when the mode of detecting the PPDU includes detecting the guard interval information of the PPDU, the GI field may indicate which probe the PPDU is used. The GI of the length, for example, 0.4, 0.8us, or a longer GI, such as 1.6, 2.4 or 3.2us.
可以理解的是,该探测PPDU的模式还可以包含更多用于对探测PPDU的参数进行描述的信息,具体此处不做限定,对应地,可以设置相应的字段对相关信息进行指示。It can be understood that the mode of the probe PPDU may further include more information for describing the parameters of the probe PPDU, which is not limited herein. Correspondingly, corresponding fields may be set to indicate related information.
602、第一网络设备接收第二网络设备发送的第二PPDU;602. The first network device receives a second PPDU sent by the second network device.
在本实施例中,第二PPDU为第二网络设备根据T-Mode字段生成的目标模式的探测PPDU。In this embodiment, the second PPDU is a probe PPDU of the target mode generated by the second network device according to the T-Mode field.
例如,在Indoor/Outdoor字段指示探测PPDU应采用室外模式时,对应生成的目标模式的探测PPDU(即室外模式的探测PPDU)为增强性的探测PPDU,请参考图7,该增强性的探测PPDU是指具有以下格式中的至少一种的探测PPDU:For example, when the Indoor/Outdoor field indicates that the probe PPDU should be in the outdoor mode, the probe PPDU corresponding to the generated target mode (ie, the probe PPDU of the outdoor mode) is an enhanced probe PPDU. Referring to FIG. 7, the enhanced probe PPDU is used. Refers to a probe PPDU that has at least one of the following formats:
(1)探测PPDU的前导码的至少一个符号在时域或频域上进行部分或者全部的复制;(1) at least one symbol of the preamble of the probe PPDU is partially or completely copied in the time domain or the frequency domain;
即第二网络设备在生成探测PPDU的过程中,对前导码中的某一符号进行时域或者频域上的部分或者全部的复制,如图7中,对L-SIG符号进行完全复制。 That is, in the process of generating the probe PPDU, the second network device performs partial or complete copying of a certain symbol in the time domain or the frequency domain in the preamble. As shown in FIG. 7, the L-SIG symbol is completely copied.
(2)探测PPDU的部分或全部符号间的GI大于第一预设值;(2) detecting that the GI between part or all of the symbols of the PPDU is greater than the first preset value;
即第二网络设备在生成探测PPDU的过程中,采用更长的GI,其中第一预设值可根据实际场景设定,例如可以为0.8us,则室外模式的探测PPDU可以采用比传统探测PPDU更长的GI,如1.6,2.4,3.2us等,此时,增长GI有助于抵抗室外场景中较大的扩展延迟。That is, the second network device adopts a longer GI in the process of generating the probe PPDU, wherein the first preset value may be set according to an actual scenario, for example, may be 0.8 us, and the probe mode of the outdoor mode may adopt a PPDU other than the traditional probe. Longer GIs, such as 1.6, 2.4, 3.2us, etc., at this time, increasing the GI helps to resist large extended delays in outdoor scenes.
(3)探测PPDU的至少一个符号的MCS满足某一预设条件;(3) detecting that the MCS of at least one symbol of the PPDU satisfies a certain preset condition;
即第二网络设备在生成探测PPDU的过程中,探测PPDU的至少一个符号的MCS更具鲁棒性,例如,从MCS0至MCS9中最鲁棒的MCS0,或者IEEE802.11ah标准中的MCS10,其鲁棒性比MCS0更佳,由此,在实际应用过程中,探测PPDU的信令字段或者数据字段都可以采用MCS10的调制编码方式。That is, in the process of generating the sounding PPDU, the second network device is more robust in detecting the MCS of at least one symbol of the PPDU, for example, the most robust MCS0 from MCS0 to MCS9, or the MCS10 in the IEEE802.11ah standard, The robustness is better than MCS0. Therefore, in the actual application process, the signaling field or data field of the probe PPDU can adopt the modulation and coding mode of the MCS10.
(4)探测PPDU的至少一个符号的FFT的阶数高于第二预设值。(4) The order of the FFT of the at least one symbol of the probe PPDU is higher than the second preset value.
即第二网络设备在生成探测PPDU的过程中,探测PPDU可以采用更大阶数的FFT,如128点的FFT或者256点的FFT,此时,更大的FFT不仅可以提高效率,还可以减少扩展延迟带来的影响。That is, in the process of generating the probe PPDU, the second network device may use a larger order FFT, such as a 128-point FFT or a 256-point FFT. In this case, a larger FFT can not only improve efficiency, but also reduce The impact of extended latency.
需要说明的是,上面仅以举例的方式对室外模式的探测PPDU的格式进行描述,在实际应用中,室外模式的探测PPDU的格式可以对上述格式进行结合使用,还可以采用根据需要设置更多其他的格式,例如,还可以再引入指示字段,用于对后续字段的可变模式进行指示,如,通过信令字段-A中的某一字段来指示信令字段-B的GI信息等,通过信令字段-B的某一字段来指示数据字段的GI信息等。It should be noted that the format of the PPDU of the outdoor mode is described by way of example only. In actual applications, the format of the PPDU of the outdoor mode may be combined with the foregoing format, and more may be set as needed. The other format, for example, may further re-introducing an indication field for indicating a variable mode of the subsequent field, for example, indicating a GI information of the signaling field-B by a certain field in the signaling field -A, The GI information of the data field and the like are indicated by a certain field of the signaling field -B.
603、第一网络设备使用第二PPDU测量信道信息,得到目标信道信息测量结果;603. The first network device uses the second PPDU to measure channel information, to obtain a target channel information measurement result.
在本实施例中,第二PPDU为根据T-Mode字段生成的目标模式的探测PPDU,由此,使用该探测PPDU测量信道信息,便可得到目标信道信息测量结果。In this embodiment, the second PPDU is a probe PPDU of a target mode generated according to the T-Mode field, and thus, the channel information is measured using the probe PPDU, and the target channel information measurement result is obtained.
604、第一网络设备根据目标信道信息测量结果进行链路自适应调整;604. The first network device performs link adaptive adjustment according to the measurement result of the target channel information.
可选地,在本实施例中,信道信息包括信道的扩展延迟和/或多用户间的延迟,对应的目标信道信息测量结果为目标GI,则步骤604具体为:第一网络设备根据目标GI进行GI的自适应调整。 Optionally, in this embodiment, the channel information includes an extended delay of the channel and/or a delay between the multiple users, and the corresponding target channel information measurement result is the target GI, and the step 604 is specifically: the first network device is configured according to the target GI. Perform adaptive adjustment of the GI.
或者,在本实施例中,信道信息也可以包括信道的SNR,对应的目标信道信息测量结果为目标MCS,则步骤604具体为:第一网络设备根据目标MCS进行MCS的自适应调整。Alternatively, in this embodiment, the channel information may also include the SNR of the channel, and the corresponding target channel information measurement result is the target MCS. Step 604 is specifically: the first network device performs adaptive adjustment of the MCS according to the target MCS.
可以理解的是,在本实施例中,测量信道信息所采用信道参数可根据链路自适应所调整的参数确定。It can be understood that, in this embodiment, the channel parameters used for measuring channel information may be determined according to parameters adjusted by link adaptation.

下面在图6、8所示实施例的基础上,以模式指示字段包括在第一PPDU的HT控制字段中为例,对TRQ模式的一种WLAN的链路自适应方法进行详细描述,请参见图9,本发明实施例中WLAN的链路自适应方法另一实施例包括:The following describes the link adaptation method of the WLAN in the TRQ mode by using the mode indication field in the HT control field of the first PPDU as an example, as shown in the embodiment shown in FIG. FIG. 9 is another embodiment of a link adaptation method for a WLAN in an embodiment of the present invention, including:
901、第一网络设备向第二网络设备发送第一PPDU;901. The first network device sends a first PPDU to the second network device.
其中,第一PPDU承载有至少一个MPDU,且该MPDU指示需要第二网络设备发送探测PPDU,例如,在实际应用过程中,可以通过将TRQ比特置1来指示需要第二网络设备发送探测PPDU,具体请参考图10。The first PPDU carries at least one MPDU, and the MPDU indicates that the second network device needs to send the probe PPDU. For example, in the actual application process, the second network device may be required to send the probe PPDU by setting the TRQ bit to 1. Please refer to Figure 10 for details.
在本实施例中,MPDU包括HT控制字段,且HT控制字段还包括T-Mode字段,该T-Mode字段用于指示第二网络设备生成目标模式的探测PPDU,如图10中:BW字段,用于指示探测PPDU应采用的带宽;Indoor/Outdoor字段,用于指示探测PPDU应采用室内模式还是室外模式,NX_HE-LTF字段,用于指示探测PPDU的长训练字段应采用的FFT的阶数;GI字段,用于指示探测PPDU应采用的保护间隔长度。In this embodiment, the MPDU includes an HT control field, and the HT control field further includes a T-Mode field, where the T-Mode field is used to instruct the second network device to generate a probe PPDU of the target mode, as shown in FIG. 10: a BW field. It is used to indicate the bandwidth that should be used for detecting the PPDU; the Indoor/Outdoor field is used to indicate whether the probe PPDU should be in indoor mode or outdoor mode, and the NX_HE-LTF field is used to indicate the order of the FFT to be used for detecting the long training field of the PPDU; The GI field is used to indicate the length of the guard interval that the probe PPDU should take.
可以理解的是,该T-Mode字段还可以包含更多用于对探测PPDU的参数进行指示的字段,具体此处不做限定。It is to be understood that the T-Mode field may further include more fields for indicating the parameters of the probe PPDU, which is not limited herein.
在实际应用过程中,可以根据应用场景对T-Mode字段进行设置,以对探测PPDU的目标模式进行指示,其中,应用场景包括室内场景还是室外场景,所要测量的信道信息,信道信息的准确性要求,反馈效率要求,小区内信道的繁忙状况等,下面进行举例说明:In the actual application process, the T-Mode field may be set according to the application scenario to indicate the target mode of the probe PPDU, where the application scenario includes an indoor scenario or an outdoor scenario, channel information to be measured, and channel channel accuracy. Requirements, feedback efficiency requirements, busy conditions of the channel in the cell, etc., as an example:
若第一网络设备为室内场景,则可以将T-Mode字段的Indoor/Outdoor字段设置为室内模式,由此,生成室内模式的探测PPDU,该探测PPDU的GI较短,如0.8us,从而保证在第一网络设备获取到信道信息测量结果的前提下,尽量减小第二网络设备发送该探测PPDU造成的开销。 If the first network device is an indoor scenario, the Indoor/Outdoor field of the T-Mode field may be set to the indoor mode, thereby generating an indoor mode detection PPDU, and the GI of the detection PPDU is shorter, such as 0.8 us, thereby ensuring On the premise that the first network device obtains the channel information measurement result, the overhead caused by the second network device sending the probe PPDU is minimized.
若第一网络设备所要测量的信道信息为扩展延迟,则可以将T-Mode字段的GI字段设置为最长的GI,以保证探测PPDU的长训练字段的GI长度大于当前信道的扩展延迟,否则信道多个径上的信号会重叠在一起,即使接收到探测PPDU,也无法正确测量当前信道的扩展延迟。If the channel information to be measured by the first network device is an extended delay, the GI field of the T-Mode field may be set to the longest GI to ensure that the GI length of the long training field of the probe PPDU is greater than the extended delay of the current channel, otherwise The signals on multiple paths of the channel will overlap, and even if the probe PPDU is received, the extended delay of the current channel cannot be correctly measured.
若第一网络设备对信道信息的准确性要求较高,如希望测量出所有子载波的信道信息,则可以将T-Mode字段的NX_HE-LTF字段设置为4X HE-LTF;其中,若信道相邻子载波的信道相关特性较高,则可以将T-Mode字段的NX_HE-LTF字段设置为1X HE-LTF或者2X HE-LTF,此时,第一网络设备通过对1X HE-LTF或者2X HE-LTF测得的信道进行插值,在得到所有子载波上的信道信息的前提下,尽量减小第二网络设备发送该探测PPDU造成的开销。If the first network device requires high accuracy of channel information, if it is desired to measure channel information of all subcarriers, the NX_HE-LTF field of the T-Mode field may be set to 4X HE-LTF; If the channel correlation feature of the adjacent subcarrier is high, the NX_HE-LTF field of the T-Mode field can be set to 1X HE-LTF or 2X HE-LTF. At this time, the first network device passes the 1X HE-LTF or 2X HE. - The channel measured by the LTF is interpolated, and the overhead caused by the second network device transmitting the probe PPDU is minimized on the premise that the channel information on all subcarriers is obtained.
还比如,当前根据小区内信道的繁忙状况,在某一信道(如20M)上具有更高的传输效率时,可以将T-Mode字段的BW字段设置为20M带宽,由此,第二网络设备可以更快地获取到传输探测PPDU的机会,以便第一网络设备尽快进行信道信息的测量。For example, according to the busy condition of the channel in the cell, when the transmission efficiency is higher on a certain channel (such as 20M), the BW field of the T-Mode field can be set to 20M bandwidth, thereby, the second network device The opportunity to transmit the probe PPDU can be acquired more quickly so that the first network device can measure the channel information as soon as possible.
需要说明的是,上面仅以几个例子说明了第一网络设备设置T-Mode字段的具体方式,在实际应用中,第一网络设备可以对上述设置方式进行结合使用,还可以采用其他的设置方式,具体的设置方式此处不做限定。It should be noted that the specific manner in which the first network device sets the T-Mode field is described by using only a few examples.
